I just now saw Sandra's obituary in the December 10th newspaper. First of all I'd like to say how sorry I am for your loss. I worked with Sandra at Mid-Continent many years ago. She was always so sweet and kind to me. She never had anything bad to say about anybody. Sandra was always such a joy to be around. One year for my birthday she made me a homemade cheesecake and called it "Dana's Birthday Cheesecake". And, believe me it was the best cheesecake I ever ate. I feel so blessed having known Sandra and now she's with our Heavenly Father and will never be sick again. Sandra, you will be greatly missed. Love you!

I am so sorry for your loss. Sandra was always such a pleasure to chat with at West. Her strength and attitude were amazing. I’ll also miss my chats with you about the races .
It was so obvious how much you adored each other.
Much love
